What if you have one and it sucks?

Enslaved is basically the only band from the original wave of Norwegian black metal that’s still doing anything original and interesting.

thats fair

edit: their newerish stuff doesn't do it for me atleast they've moved on to other things and are making an effort to continue making good music

 

[VelociBrad]

newer Darkthrone is miles better than Enslaved's prog shit.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

^.

I just YouTubed Circle the Wagons, and I have to say WTF. This sounds like Manilla Road. I knew they've been going in an "old-school" direction lately, but I thought it was more black/speed/thrash. This is actually pretty cool though, so I yeah, miles better than Enslaved.

"Progressive" should automatically be synonymous with "pretentious faggotry."

 

[Einherjar86]

You're getting "progressive" confused with "ObscureInfinity."

 

[HamburgerBoy]

"Black metal" should automatically be synonymous with "pretentious faggotry."

Fixed.

EDIT: You said it better, Einherjar.

Most progressive metal is shit, however progressive rock is some of the greatest music in the past 50 years.

yeah i'd agree about 95% of the time on this one.

I've never really seen ObscureInfinity act "pretentious". If adhering to the strict code of non-poseurdom is pretentious to you, you should probably just get the fuck out instead of complain about it.

Here's one example.

So are you labeling Teddy Roosevelt's policies during his term in office as 'pretentious faggotry'?

Well, he was an authoritarian eugenics supporting elitist, so he sort of qualifies. Definitely not a faggot, though.

 

[The Ozzman]

Cool reply, bro

if the local metal scene sucks? if you don't play an instrument, probably just go for anything that makes you happy, these rules don't apply

 

[legendarymidget]

Dani (Filth) is one of the most talented singers ever. I mean his vocal range is astonishing!?

 

[Blind Guardian]

Enslaved's prog is amazing.

 

[SentinelSlain]
